Post-Pregnancy Fat Loss – Confessions of a Trainer’s Wife

May 25th 2011 · by Jordan

So I had a baby, and my body is just not the same. What’s even more sad is I let it go before I even got pregnant, that’s were the big LBs come in. I managed to pack on 25 lbs prior to even getting pregnant, I was back at my weight prior to starting AdvoCare products and working out at RAD Boot Camp. I self destructed my hard work with the snooze button and started skipping my 5:30 AM workout and shortly there after got lax on my nutrition AND supplements.

So here’s when I was at my best, looking my best but more importantly I felt AWESOME.

Oh I miss those arms, hoping I find them soon

Lesson #1 in any weight loss body transformation: Take GOOD before and after pictures. The after pictures are always easy, it’s the before pictures you need to force yourself to take today. I learned the hard way the first time around, no before pictures (well I’m sure there were some but every one was thrown to the trash) and this is one of the few after pictures.

Good news though, I’ve got some great before pictures this time around.

This is 2 weeks post baby:

Jean Size: 10

Body Fat: 29.3%

Weight: 8 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight

Did you catch that, I am already 8 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s a love hate, as any female would love that number on the scale but realistically I am in horrible shape so let’s do whats right and not concentrate on the scale but instead how I feel and the condition of my body. I’ll rank it a 3 out of 10!

***As a side note it is also important to know during my recovery I’ll take the first 6 weeks post-partum pretty slow, I ended up with a C-Section and I have been strictly advised not to do ANYTHING. Lucky for me I’ve got awesome products on my side and I’ll get a head start.

So here goes the embarrassing part:
